The Sculptor In America.

The fate of the sculptor in America is
anything but happy one. 1t is infinitely
worse than that of the painter. \ few of
the very best make good livings A
couple who are not of the best, but who
are older in experience, make money be-
sides, chiefly through the connections
they have made and their regulations in
the past. The rest do not earn more than
laborers' wages. 4 sculptor who is an
artist in the higher sense is at disad-
vantage. 4 good wood carver. or a man
with a taste for ornamental art, need never
be without profitable employment as long
as fine houses are built. But the man Of
ideals and ambitions Hnds few supporters.
Artists and critics admire him but artists
and critics do not buy statues Art col
lectors do not regard sculpture with a
friendly exc. Ii costs too much. You
can buy half dozen good pictures for the
price OF one statue. Our houses are too
small to show statuary in. too All that

The following from the New Carlisle
S,rn in regard 10 the sentiment of republi-
cans in that party stronghold on the sena-
iorial question will be of interest:
In regard TO the senatorial question,
our people are decidedly in favor OF Clark
county taking care of herself. Whatever
has been the custom heretofore between
the counties composing this senatorial dis
uict. does not now tit the case. from the
fact that the political. commercial and
manufacturing interests and influences in
Clark county today is greater than the
combined influence of Champaign and
Madison counties. At the time that the
arrangement was made 80 a. to give each
county an equal division of senatorial
donors the political influence of the coun-
ties were about equal. Bat today. Clark
county. politically. is greater than ho:h of
the others. Under the circum stances,
is it reasonable or fair for us to
confer such political favOrs upon
our sister county of Champaign. As TO give
her one-third of the representation. when
she does not possess but one fourth OF the
political power OF the district? Especially
is this so. when she has sought on every
occasion to plunge the political knife into
our side. Shall we quietly submit to these
wIongs. and go on comforting favorS upon
her. 50 a. 10 give her a chance TO turn and
spurn us for our pains?

The English Skylark.

The lark is, probably, if the whole
truth were told, at first rather a disap-
pOintment 10 most Americans who not
unnaturally expect from the bird that
sings at Heavens gate a song of great
variety and volume. Ii was i'll Sussex
many years ago upon the cliffs overlook
ing St Leonard son the-Sea, that we first
made his acquaintance. Ii was early
morning, clcGr and calm after night Of
storm, which had brought two wrecks on
shore within sight, and the shock and roar
Of the waves were still so tremendous that
we were fairly driven from our ac-
customed walk along the Marina, and
turning inland by road which tunneled
its way upward, gained the level of the
rich farming land above the town As
we emerged into the sunshine a bird rose
singing from an adjacent field Can that
feeble, mOnotonous chirper be skylarkf"
thought We rs he rose higher, still con-
tinuing to sing. His actions answered
the doubt; for as if he had been on exhi-
bition, he still rose with successive Hut
tering impulses in "a widening spiral till
he was quite lost TO sight in the cloudless
sky, while his voice proved itself of more
penetrating quality than had at first ap-
peared, for it continued to reach us,

tinctness.-TheOdor H. Mead in Ameri-

A STARTLING FACT.

Ii is not commonly known that q large
proportion Of the rheumatism and neu-
ralgia eNtant Is traceIhIe directly to the
diseased condition or imperfect action Of
the kidneys and liver, therefore remedy
wEich cmr the resulting disease must
have found an smiten the first cause.
Many persons using AthIophorus for
rheumatism and neuralgia have been
surprised 10 find that chronic disorders ot
the liver and kidneys have also been
greatly relieved and they have written
for an explanation. The fact i. that the
remedy acts directly On these organs
yransing them from all irritating sub
.tanres and regulating their action. Taken
in connection with AIhlrphorus Pills this
is. without exception the m"-t valuable
sidney AMI liver remedy in the world, and
will cure large proportion Of those who
have these diseases.
Said William =! Hutchinson, living at 90
south Shaler II. Springfield, o., Il don't
think there is any medicine like Athlopho-
rOs for rheumatism. Previous to my using
this medicine used about every kind of
rheumatic medicine ever heard OF, both
regular and irregular without avail. At

| was suffering very much In very
remarkably short time. in fact ! had only
taken a few doses, experienced very
decided relief. 1t is now over two wears

In the first six months OF this year 240,-
499 immigrants landed at Castle Garden.
New York: an increase of 30, 900 for the.
foreign element into our country at pretty
lively rate. Our immigration laws need
general overhauling and many ridiculous
provisions need modifying. For instance.
only a few days ago ScOtchman with his
family landed at Castle Garden. and while
there in conversation with some of
the officers as TO his purpose and expec-
tations in coming 10 this country,
told them that he was going TO Kentucky
under contract with farmer and stock
raiser of that state to take charge OF his
farm. This il seems was in violation of
the contract labor provisions of our immi-
grafton laws, and the provident ScOtchman
with his family was detained in New York,
his children becoming sick and one of them
soon dying of disease contracted in these
quarters in the city. Had this man come
TO our shores, with his family,
with no plans. no money and no provisions
for the future, he would have been free 10
90 where and when he pleased. there being
nothing in our laws to prevent. He was so
frugal, however. as to provide ways and
means of a livelihood for himself and fam
lily before leaving his native land. and by so
doing has violated the law and is detained

be SEINE radical changes We should not

There is usually reason to be found
for doing what we really desire. On
the other hand, there are plenty oil
arguments to prove that the same line
of action may be injurious to other
people. One day teacher told her
scholars that il was wrong to chew
tcoacco; when a small boy, with quite
an important air, replied that he had
seen a fellow chew because his teeth
ached. and stoutly averred that II was
not wrong for any one to chew tobacco
II his teeth ached. This seemed to
please the scholars very much, and the
teacher was at first sorely puzzled Ia
know how to answer this stunning
argument At last she said to the boy,
Horace, If a girl should have the
toothache, and want to chew tobacco.
